played in papers, pamphlets, volumes, pictures, models, statistics and
addresses, and in every other way in which its potency and presence in our
national life and history can be shown; and that we should welcome also
all exhibitions of what other Religions have done and are doing."
Rev. R. S. McArthur, D.D., of New York, writes: "I believe that
under the guidance of Divine Providence this historic occasion may be made
memorable in advancing the cause of our common Christianity."
Rev. A. J. Behrends, D.D., of Brooklyn, believes that the plan "if
wisely carried out, cannot fail to produce sound and salutary results."
I have been particularly desirous of securing the co-operation of that
international publication, The Review of Reviews, and Mr. William T.
Stead, the editor, writes, under date of January 29th : "The Review of
Reviews will do everything it possibly can to make every development of your
great idea a success."
Principal John Cairns, D.D., of Edinburgh, writes of his "great
interest in everything that tends to bring men of different Religions, even the
most widely sundered, without compromise into contact, and where possible,
into co-operation."
Rev. Washington Gladden, D.D., of Columbus, writes: "I am not
greatly interested in these enormous displays of goods and machinery. They
are signs of the supremacy of material interests and forces which are rather
appalling. But if anything can be done to suggest to the crowds who will
gather at this show, that man does not live by bread alone, or by machinery
alone, or by money alone, I should be happy to assist in that endeavor."
Bishop W. X. Ninde, of Kansas, writes: "I am alive to the great
importance of making the Columbian Exposition promotive of the religious
sentiment on both its divine and humanitarian sides. I trust that the great
multitudes who attend will be impressed with the vast moral, as well as ma-
terial resources of this unrivaled age."
Rev. Reuen Thomas, D.D., of Brookline, writes: "The project seems
to me great and good, capable of large developments, and promising, under
the Divine blessing, large results."
Rev. Henry Van Dyke, D.D., of New York, writes: "As the world
grows smaller, the thoughts of men grow wider, through communication. If
it is good to know what science, and art, and invention are doing for mankind,
it must be good to know what Religion is doing. A real convention of men
ought to be one of the best safeguards against a false conventionality of
opinions."
Rev. J. Estlin Carpenter, D.D., of the Manchester New College,
Oxford, England, writes: "Among the many noteworthy features of this cen-
tury, none impresses me more than the heightened interest in Religion among
the English-speaking race. The quickened energies, the wider scope, the
more self-sacrificing devotion of the Churches around us in this country and
in America, surely bear witness to the movement of the Spirit of God; and
observers on the spot might doubtless notice similar movements in other
